    Abstract Autism is a spectrum disorder marked by considerable heterogeneity and characterized by impairments in the social communication domain along with the presence of restricted and repetitive behaviors or interests. Comprehensive autism evaluation generally consists of assessments by a multidisciplinary team. Having multiple specialists in the evaluation team aids in diagnosis and in chalking out a comprehensive management plan. Diagnosis is generally based on detailed developmental history, clinical judgment, and the use of standardized diagnostic instruments. Differential diagnosis is complicated as many of the mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions that routinely coexist with autism also have some symptoms that overlap with autism. Several barriers are linked to delay in diagnosis including lack of comfort in diagnosing autism by primary care providers, delayed referrals, the inability of parents to raise critical developmental concerns, confusion of autism with other conditions, and health system that is not responsive to the needs of the underserved communities. The etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is complex and still not completely understood; it involves genetics, neurobiology, and environmental exposures, leading to a diverse presentation of behaviors and symptoms. There is an imperative need to start therapeutic interventions as soon as a diagnosis of autism is suspected rather than wait for a definitive diagnosis. Early diagnosis is vital as timely intervention can lead to better outcomes for children and their families.

    Abstract Background: Despite steady decline in the age of diagnosis (AOD) at the global level, it has not declined uniformly, and marked disparities are documented by income, education, race, and access to health care.
    Objectives: The objectives of the study are to examine the urban/rural disparities in the initial age of autism diagnosis and to understand the interplay of the underlying demographic and social factors.
    Methods: A retrospective case record review of all children who received their initial diagnosis of autism at the Pediatric Psychology Clinic (1997-2018) of a tertiary advanced pediatric center at Chandigarh was conducted. A structured abstraction data form was used to extract demographic, socioeconomic, and clinical information from the files maintained at the clinic.
    Results: A total of 1321 case records were examined. The mean AOD was 4.62 years (standard deviation = 2.38) and children from rural communities were diagnosed at 4.87 years, nearly 0.35 years later than urban children (t = 2.47, P = 0.013). Results indicated that 31.1% of the variance in the AOD for children from rural areas was predicted by two variables, namely the number of children in the family and total Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) score (F = 13.62, P = 0.001). For the urban sample, three variables emerged as significant predictors including the number of children in the family, total CARS score, and maternal education and these together explained 20.2% of the variance in the AOD (F = 19.60, P = 0.001).
    Conclusion: The public health system must be sensitized to the unmet needs of the marginalized socioeconomic groups to access diagnostic and management services in a timely manner.

    Abstract Scrub typhus is a vector-borne disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. Clinical manifestations generally occur due to vasculitis and inflammation and can have variable degrees of systemic involvement. Meningoencephalitis and cerebellitis are well-known neurological manifestations of scrub typhus, but the occurrence of Guillain-Barré syndrome is extremely rare. The authors report a 7-y-old boy who developed fever followed by rapidly progressive ascending quadriparesis with areflexia and whose etiological workup revealed positive IgM scrub typhus antibody, as well as, a high OXK titer (1:80). Nerve-conduction studies in all four limbs were suggestive of demyelinating neuropathy. He showed complete recovery after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (2 g/kg) and azithromycin.

    Abstract Childhood Electroclinical Syndrome (CES) is a term which refers to distinct epilepsies of childhood which have peculiar similarities such as the age of onset, seizure semiology, EEG and prognosis. With advancements in the diagnostics and genetics, pediatric epilepsy is entering in the age of precision medicine. The present paper provides an update of CES in light of recent advances in the terminologies and classifications by International League Against Epilepsy and genetic underpinnings of epilepsy. The core features of CES for diagnosing and managing some common CES is presented here.

    Abstract Childhood Electroclinical Syndromes (CES) are epilepsies occurring in childhood with certain common features such as age of onset, types of seizures, electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics, response to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and outcome. An understanding of CES is important for proper management and counseling. There are several CES, and there is an ongoing debate about lumping vs. splitting the CES. For the uninitiated, it is a difficult task to remember all the CES. In this paper, a simplified pragmatic diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for some of the common CES is presented.
